I’m completely guilty of exercising hard, then spending the rest of my day sitting. The problem is that even if you are fit and train regularly, you are still at risk for several chronic diseases. A recent study showed that women who exercise regularly are still spending too much time sitting.

Quote from article:
Yancey said society doesn’t force people to move. “We commute for long periods, sitting,” she said. “Even at the workplace, we use email instead of getting up to talk with a person. We don’t shop; we order things over the Internet.”
